Chiming in with my experience, I'm AuDHD and adderall massively helps my social anxiety
I max some Adderall before social events where I have to sit and listen and chime in. Other wise I can barely sit and my brain just zooms around.
I love that for you so much 😭😭 I'm really hoping that my psych will actually let me try some stimulants, I'm struggling and it would be life changing to be able to actually make (and keep!) friends
good luck, hope it goes well for you! jsyk if your psych won't and whatever else they want to try doesn't work for you, you can look for new one. I talked to a psych who refused to prescribe me stimulants even though they'd been very effective treatment for me for years, bc the psych had some really outdated info on adhd and some unscientific biases against stimulants, unfortunately there are some shitty ones out there
Thanks! Yeah, I took focalin a while ago and it was bizarre, I'd be totally wired, then feel nothing and back again. then tried strattera for a couple weeks and it made all my symptoms worse besides waking up on time in the morning lol. I really wanted it to work, so I may have to try focalin again before we get to the other stuff but I think I'll be flat out with them and say I'd like to try Vyvanse or adderall. They seem to have the greatest efficacy for people anyway.
